Ability to customize the label of Date/Time variables

Desired Feature
Be able to customize the label format of Date/Time variables shown in Displayr.
More detail
We need the ability to customize the labeling of Date/Time variables in Displayr. Right now we can do this in R, but the final variable Structure is a Nominal variable - which is not compatible with statistical testing that compares each period to the previous one. For example, instead of showing Jan-Mar 20, the user wants to label this and other quarters: Q1 2020. And also, use the compare to previous period setting on stat testing. Right now, the workaround is to relabel the dates using R, but then the user is limited to creating tables that work well with R (no spans, no arrows, etc). This request will reduce the extra outputs that users need to make (and may potentially slow down documents) and reduce custom R code that the user has to use, making the software feel more point and click.

Currently the customer has to create a JavaScript Rule to do this but it would be great if we could have a Rule that allows the user to customize the Quarter heading in a menu.

Dates are labeled in a standard way in Displayr tables and cannot be changed except by writing a rule. It would be great to be able to set the format of how you want your date displayed on the variable itself in the common YYYY-MMM-DD type of format that's easily used. This way customers dont' have to mess with editing JavaScript code in a rule to rewrite the headers.

It would be great to be able to set custom formatting for Date/Time variables in tables. Currently we can only do this via rules.

It’s not possible to easily relabel
Date/Time
labels in a table. The closest is the Abbreviate Month Labels
rule.You can instead use _attr(date,”QDate”)_ as an R variable to edit the labels but this then prevents significance testing to the previous period. We should include easier options to achieve this.

There should be an easier way to reformat Date/Time labels without having to use a rule.
